8 Claims. (01. 214-55) This invention relates to a machine for gathering and stringing tobacco leaves in the field and depositing them onto a suitable tobacco stick instead of the conventional means heretofore employed of stripping the leaves from the tobacco stalks and depositing them into suitable baskets, trucks, and the like, which are drawn between the rows of tobacco, these baskets being transported to a suitable place where the bunches of leaves are strung onto the tobacco sticks by hand.

Briefly this invention comprises a wheeled selfpropelled framework seating one or more operators on each side of a row of tobacco, which operators will pull the leaves from the tobacco stalks and hand them to other operators, who will deposit them onto a series of moving belts. The butt ends of the stems will be deposited onto a tape which is fed through two sewing machines, and the butts of the tobacco leaves will pass between suitable pressure applying means, while a pair of sewing machines forms a line of stitches passing through the butts of the tobacco leaves, and. through the tape on which the butt ends of the stems of the tobacco are deposited.

The tape with the butts of the tobacco leaves sewn thereto, passes rearwardly and is deposited onto a suitable tobacco stick, the tape resting on the tobacco stick and the leaves projecting from each side of the tobacco stick on a suitable platform. Then the tape is severed at the proper positing the tape onto a suitable tobacco stick,

.and severing the tape at intervals so that the filled tobacco stick can be removed from position and deposited on suitable trucks carried by the wheeled framework, and another tobacco stick inserted .in position for receiving the tape being filled with tobacco leaves sewn thereto.

It is another object of this invention to provide a tobacco harvesting apparatus comprising a self-propelled wheeled framework with a prime mover mounted on the framework for driving the framework over the ground at a very low speed, and also for driving suitable sewing mechanisms for sewing tobacco leaves to a suitable tape. The framework also carries a seat on each side of the row, which is straddled by the framework, and an operator on each side of a row of tobacco picks the leaves from the stalks of tobacco and hands them to other operators seated at a higher level on the wheeled framework, the upper operators depositing these leaves in butt to butt relation against a suitable guide strip onto a suitable tape, and the tobacco leaves with butt ends deposited onto the tape are conveyed through a pair of sewing apparatus, which passes a line of removable chain stitches through the tape and through the butts of the tobacco stems. The tape with the tobacco leaves sewed thereto is deposited onto a suitable tobacco stick and severed at intervals so the tobacco stick filled with the tobacco leaves can be removed and deposited on a suitable truck carried by the wheeled framework, and which truck can be removed at intervals and another truck substituted when the trucks become loaded.

Some of the objects of the invention having been stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
